respectron Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Hi Adam, I appreciate this site you have created a lot and also appreciate your wisdom in this venture. I have never posted a question as everyone usually covers all the angles. Anyways my question is..., have you ever considered doing a monthly lottery of some kind in which you offer a FREE Lifetime VIP Membership to the lucky winner? It may be too late (hopefully) but thought I would ask anyways. Edited February 24, 2013 by respectron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatbush Zombies Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 sell, sell ,sell Yup, there's ignorant easyrider chiming in with intelligence. From the New York Times: In an effort to cut down on smuggling, Baghdad also imposed a stiff exit tax of 15,000 dinars, the equivalent of $250 on the black market and $48,000 at the official exchange rate. The tax has slowed cross-border traffic from Iraq to a trickle. Iraqi officials say they have no intention of compensating anyone else, even the Jordanian businessmen they traded with. "It was their mistake to speculate in Iraqi currency," Shawki Kubaisi, the chairman of the Iraqi Trade Bank, said in Amman. "This is a matter of our national sovereignty, taken to improve our economy." But Jordanian businessmen, who have lost tens of millions of dollars, say the move was akin to theft. "I sold flour to Iraqi farms and they paid me in money they now say is worthless," said Nabil Ahmed al-Kaid. "This isn't business. It's robbery. The next time the Iraqis want something they'd better show up with dollars." http://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/16/world/fortunes-in-iraqi-bills-gone-overnight.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moose55 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi Adam, An article stated that in modern times the biggest overnight RV of a currency was 35% or so. If the dinar RVed to even a .10 rate, that would be an approximate 10,000% increase if my math is right. Would an overnight RV of this magnitude be possible? Plus imagine the chaos at the banks as thousands rushed to cash in. Would it be more likely that the dinar become tradeable at or just higher than the present rate and be allowed to float upwards towards the .10 (or hopefully higher) rate over time? Thanks in advance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benelli Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Adam, thanks for everything. About 1 1/2 years ago with Shabs at the helm, the CBI adjusted the sell rate from 1170 to 1166. It was thought that it was a test. The auctions and political scene have not changed very much since the 4 pip move. It might be a dumb question, but trying to figure out why 4 pips and why then? Why not 3 or 5 or 10 and why then? While any movement in the positive direction is great, just can't wrap my head around the logic of such a small move at that time. Again, thanks for everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eburt Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hello Adam and Mods - Thanks for all you do. My questions is what is really going on in Iraq when it comes to 2013 Budget?

Just want to know your thoughts on what is really going on in Iraq. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMCONTI Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Adam, Do you think that the The Dinar will be traded as an International currency in 2013? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglefan Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Sonny 1 recently commented that he feels the rate will go up 700 pips this year. If this scenario happens this way then at what level will you release the names of the banks that will give a special rate to VIP members? Thanks for your time.

Candy01 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hello Adam, Now they are stalled on the budget. How long do you think it will take to finally pass the 2013 budget? Do you see the RV happening before March 31, 2013? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALBUNDY Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi Mr. Adam Montana. What do you think of this article Mr. Adam? are we getting close to RV? Thank you very much for your precious time to answer my question. Not optimistic over releasing Iraq from Seventh Chapter of UN's Charter at this time, says MP Sunday, 24 February 2013 Baghdad (AIN) –MP, Hala al-Naftachi, the member of the Parliamentary Foreign Relations Committee, stated that she is not optimistic over releasing Iraq from the Seventh Chapter of the UN's Chapter at the current time. Speaking to All Iraq News Agency (AIN), she said "We are not optimistic over releasing Iraq from the Seventh Chapter by the UN due to the security and political situations in Iraq that negatively affect the agreement of the other countries to release Iraq form this Chapter." "The crises in Iraq are clearly affecting the international relations and will reduce the international and regional role of Iraq," she added. "In spite of the current crises in Iraq that awakened it, Iraq is still playing a good role in the region by its participation in the international conferences," she concluded. /End/ THE LINK : http://www.alliraqne...itical&Itemid=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightsonword Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Considering the state of Warka (little to no response to emails or calls, inability to transfer funds, etc.), do you recommend for anyone to open an account with them or send funds to them? The article listed below claims that have announced bankruptcy, but also under the protection of the central bank, whatever that means. Do you have any information on the state of Warka besides the little that is released through the news?"mention some private banks Warka Bank now announced bankruptcy, how will deal management bank with these people depositors who do not guilt them? - the central bank has nothing to do with guarantees of private banks Vmsrv Warka now entered under the protection the central bank, there is no bank opens if he did not have the capital utilized central bank fi Bank added to capital there are guarantees second example is the buildings belong to him, there is no study of the risk, there are now banks operating at great risk."http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/142335-director-general-of-national-bank-of-baghdad-branch-beautiful-new-evidence/#entry1120450 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edbeach Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Good Morning Adam questions for you. First previouly you had offered a 50% discount for renewal of membership some of us has shortage of money due to unemployed with economony. Any chance you can reinstate this disount seems we getting to end of this investment and would help us a lot ,hopefully. The auctions have been getting super low this last week, my feeling is they are really low now in streets with dinar. I believe shortly they will run out of dinars what do you think they will do at this point or we they release more dinars back in street from CBI. It seems they have been taking in close to a trillon a week. Thank you for your hard work on this investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
